최근 유비쿼터스 헬스케어가 부각됨에 따라 심장의 활동상태를 보다 편리하게 측정하기 위하여 이동성 및 휴대성을 강조한 심전도 계측 시스템 및 스트레스 상태를 분석하기 위한 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 하지만 기존 심전도 계측은 전극의 부착 및 계측시스템과의 연결을 위한 리드선의 사용으로 인해 활동의 불편함을 유발한다. 본 연구에서는 기 연구 수행된 가정 또는 사무실에서 무구속적인(unconstrained) 방법으로 지속적인 심장의 활동상태의 모니터링이 가능한 무구속 의자형 심탄도 계측 시스템을 구현하였다. 무구속적인 방법으로 심탄도 신호를 계측하고 심탄도신호로부터 심박동변이율을 추출함으로써 일상생활 중 스트레스를 모니터링 하고자 하였다. 구현된 시스템을 통한 스트레스 모니터링의 가능성을 평가하기위하여 안정상태의 심박동변이율과 인위적인 신체적 스트레스인 Valsalva 조작를 유도한 후 심박동 변이율을 비교평가 하였다. 건강한 대학생 10명을 대상으로 비교분석을 수행한 결과 안정 상태와 육체적 스트레스 인가 후 심박동 변이율의 변화 양상을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 무구속적인 방법에 의해 스트레스의 모니터링이 가능함을 확인 할 수 있었다.

This paper presents an approach to detect arrhythmia using heart rate variability and a fuzzy neural network. The proposed algorithm diagnoses arrhythmia using 32 RR-intervals that are 25 seconds on average. We extract six statistical values from the 32 RR-intervals, which are used to input data of the fuzzy neural network. This paper uses the neural network with weighted fuzzy membership functions(NEWFM) to diagnose arrhythmia. The NEWFM used in this algorithm classifies normal and arrhythmia. The performances by Tsipouras using the 48 records of the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database was below 80% of SE(sensitivity) and SP(specificity) in both. The detection algorithm of arrhythmia shows 88.75% of SE, 82.28% of SP, and 86.31% of accuracy.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the autonomic nervous system activity in various ambient temperatures. To evaluate autonomic function, we use the frequency domain analysis of heart rate variability such as FFT(fast fourier transformation), AR(Auto-Regressive) model and Lomb-Scargle peridogram. HRV(heart rate variability) is calculated by using ECG recorded from 3 different temperature room which temperature is controlled in 18℃(low), 25℃(mid) and 38℃(high), respectively. Totally 22 subjects were participated in the experiment. In the results, the most significant autonomic changes caused by temperature load were found in the HF(high frequency) component of FFT and AR model. And the HF power is decreased by increasing temperature. Significance level was increased by increasing the difference of temperatures.

In this study, the heart rate variability(HRV) signal of operating patient was acquired according to anesthesia progress and identified to evaluation possibility of depth of anesthesia in each anesthesia stage. The HRV signal was analyzed time-frequency domain applied to Wigner-Ville distribution method, the characteristic parameters were extracted for evaluation of depth of anesthesia in each anesthesia stage. The progress of general anesthesia was divided into the states of pre-operation, induction of anesthesia, operation, awaking and post-operation.

Objectives : The detrended fluctuation analysis is one of the nonlinear methods for the investigation of biological time series. It quantifies the fractal scaling properties and is known to be useful in the evaluation of long-range correlations in time series. The heart rate variability(HRV) of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) patients during nighttime was analyzed by detrended fluctuation analysis to assess its relationship with the severity of the symptoms. Methods : Fifty nine untreated male OSAS patients with moderate to severe symptoms(mean age=45.4${\pm}$11.7 years, apnea-hypopnea index, AHI${\geq}$15) underwent nocturnal polysomnography. Moderate(AHI=15-30, N=22) and severe(AHI>30, N=37) OSAS patients were compared for the indices derived from detrended fluctuation analysis and frequency domain analysis of HRV. Results : In the detrended fluctuation analysis, the alpha values were 0.75${\pm}$0.11 and 0.82${\pm}$0.07 for the severe and the moderate OSAS groups respectively. The difference was significant(p<.01). The alpha value had negative correlation with AHI(r=-.425, p=.001). Negative correlation coefficients were also found in the relationships between the alpha values and very low frequency(VLF)(r=-.425, p=.001), low frequency(LF)(r=-.633, p= <.001) and the LF/HF ratio(r=-.305, p=.019) respectively. LF/HF ratio(p=.005) was higher in the severe OSAS group compared to that of the moderate OSAS group. Conclusion : In this study, the detrended fluctuation analysis showed the significant difference between the two OSAS groups classified according to their severity of symptoms. The scaling exponent showed the negative correlation with AHI and indicies of frequency domain analysis. This result suggests that detrended fluctuation analysis can be helpful to estimate the severity of OSAS.

This paper proposes healthcare bathing system for improving the multisensory function and not washing. We designed various types of bathtub for developing bathing system. This system consists of whirlpool bathtub for multisensory stimulation, a cover of bathtub with visual-auditory stimulation function, a small size PC for main control, touch panel, digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB), color-changeable LED mood lighting system for improving visual sensibility and speaker. We investigate the effects on autonomic nervous system during bathing with healthcare bathing system for improving the multisensory functions. To analysis physiological parameter, body temperature, blood pressure, intraocular pressure and heart rate variability (HRV) were measured before, during and after bath using healthcare bathing system. Experiments were performed on partial immersion bath and the water temperature was kept $39{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$. The body temperature and the heart rate variability of the subject were measured every 5 minutes before, during, and after the bath. In analysis of HRV, the parasympathetic nerve increased from starting bath and decreased after 15 minutes. So the subjects felt comfortable at 15 minutes after starting bath. Blood pressure decreased to 16mmHg maximumly however pulse increased. Bath using healthcare bathing system for improving the multisensory functions affects positively the circulation of the blood. From this results, it leaves something to be desired in evaluation of serviceability and physiological analysis using the healthcare bathing system, however, we expect to analyze more clearly the relationship between the serviceability of product, physiological change and sensibility by various physiological parameters.

This paper demonstrates that 'Qi Energy Healing' effects on elevation of capabilities in regards with the autonomic nervous system which prevents from the stress. Nineteen participants were assigned into 'Qi Energy Healing' and the 'Ordinary Relaxation' condition. Participants were examined to see the difference of frequency domain analysis, heart rate tachogram, physical resistance through the heart rate variability. The 'Qi Energy Healing' is significantly more likely to influence on reducing and diminishing the stress. 'Qi Energy Healing' treatment showed clear distinction on 6 fact. Our findings established the link between effectiveness of 'Qi Energy Healing' and the autonomic nervous system.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of Doin Gigong Exercise program on HRV in elderly women. This study was one group in a pre-test / post-test desgian with repeated measures. The experimental group of 27 patients were selected through sampling from H-public health center in the P-city. The subjects received Doin Gigong Exercise twice a week for 50 minutes for 12 weeks. All of the subjects were examined on the congnition assessment tool. Prior and post surveys were measured before and after the experiment. Among the stress assessment, RRV tachogram's 'mean RR' was very significantly increased after Qigong Exercise(p<0.01), and the 'mean HRV' was significantly decreased after Qigong Exercise(p<0.05). But the SDNN was not significantly increased after Qigong Exercise. And TP(RRV power's total power) was significantly increased after Qigong Exercise(p<0.01). VLF and HF was significantly increased, and LF was significantly decreased after Qigong Exercise(p<0.05). In the RRV's Phase Plot, RMSSD and SDSD were significantly increased after Qigong Exercise(0.05). As mentioned above; the oriental medicine Qigong Exercise program was identified the effects of the heart rate and anti-stress.
